I like that the captain is a guy who went from undrafted to "had to play in Europe to earn a one way contract" to an elite defenceman in the NHL. That mere fact shows something every single guy in the system.
Indeed. I'd be willing to bet that Jooris' success was a direct result of inspiration and leadership from Gio's story. In other words, Jooris probably doesn't make the NHL without being around a guy like Gio and knowing his story.

I also bet if Gio starting yelling at Johnny, Johnny would start crying.
